Outlook supports ink

There are a lot of new users coming lately to this blog  and some of them do not know what to do with the pen in their brand new Surface PRO 3. So here is a note which only purpose is to show one of those cool things that you can do using the pen: Send handwritten emails.

Outlook detects the Pen and enables a new option in the Tool bar called Ink tool. That allows you to write emails like the one in the next screenshots.

Foxmail

Foxmail is a Chinese email client that allows you to handwrite emails. Foxmail imports Outlook Express and Outlook Inboxes. The program is good but unfortunately there are a few thing that have to be done manually to get it working. For example, after the inhalation a file called Chinese.lgb and located in the Foxmail folder needs to be deleted to get the English Interface.

To get Ink support, if it can be called in this way these other files need to be uncompressed in Foxmail folder.

The program could be a very good alternative for those that have not bought Outlook yet.
